The attacks took place on six different occasions over a nine-day span from Friday, August 19 through Saturday, August 27. At least three people were injured in the attacks, according to the sheriff's office.

Witnesses told police that a group of young people in a dark-colored car were firing BB guns at both people and property in the Fort Bend County neighborhood of Sienna Plantation.

In one case, a young boy was hit with a BB pellet that broke his skin as he walked home from school. Another man reported being hit in the leg.

A family vehicle was also damaged in the shootings, according to Varren Parker. The dents and dings alone would cost about $2,000 to repair, Parker says.

"I am proud of the dedication our detectives showed in this case," said Sheriff Troy E. Nehls. "BB guns may be just a toy to some, but when used the way these two young men did, well, they are seeing firsthand how seriously we take attacks against Fort Bend County residents."
